Montana bluegrass fans are in for a real treat this summer with the appearance of Sierra Hull at the Butte Folk Festival.  She’s the young mandolin sensation that Alison helped launch her career with the invitation to join the AK and Union Station band on stage at the Grand Ole’ Opry when Sierra was in the 6th grade. 

Here are a couple of clips from that performance:
